2 Chronicles 1
- 1And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.
- 2Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
- 3So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness.
- 4But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
- 5Also the bronze altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation sought to it.
- 6And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, who was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
- 7In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
- 8And Solomon said to God, You have showed great mercy to David my father, and have made me to reign in his place.
- 9Now, O Lord God, let your promise to David my father be established. For you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in great numbers.
- 10Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people. For who can judge this your people, that is so great?
- 11And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, or the life of your enemies, neither yet have asked long life. But have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, the ones I have made you king over:
- 12Wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like.
- 13Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
- 14And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
- 15And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plentiful as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
- 16And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
- 17And they brought up out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
